C o n s u m e r E l e c t r o n i c s D a i l y N e w s Tu e s d a y, J a n u a r y 5 , 2 0 1 6 4 A HOME IS NOT A HOME WITHOUT 'U' Wi-Fi thermostats have long been con- sidered a luxury item for the home, with many models costing hundreds of dol- lars. Even as homeowners have started embracing the technology en masse, the price of a Wi-Fi thermostat has remained cost prohibitive for many – until now. The new "U" series of Wi-Fi ther- mostats from ICM Controls offers a sleek and stylish look with a footprint no big- ger than today's smartphones. Launching this spring and starting at just $65, the "U" is masterfully engineered with a new, ingenious use of capacitive sensing technology that allows even the most price-conscious consumer to enjoy the convenience of controlling heating and cooling systems remotely from a smart- phone. The "U" is fast and easy to install and connect to your current Wi-Fi net- work, simple to operate, and features a dynamic user interface that even gives the user the opportunity to custom con- figure one or more of the cap touch but- tons on the thermostat via a smartphone to match personal preference or need. "With the 'U,' ICM Controls has manufactured a full featured, program- mable Wi-Fi thermostat that truly has the desires of the typical homeowner in mind," said Kevin Jobsky, Director of Sales and Marketing for ICM Controls. "Even with the sophistication built into today's HVAC systems, most home- owners just want sim- plicity from their ther- mostat – a basic interface that lets them view and change the tem- perature settings. They don't want to be confused by scores of features and data points that are so advanced that only a technician can understand them, and that drive the cost up beyond their reach.
